Just a group of nervous/reactive dogs enjoying a walk together.

Our yellow dog club is perfect for those that are learning to happily coexist with others in their own time 😌💛

✨ Patience ✨

The most underrated skill you can have as a trainer or dog guardian. Success doesn’t come over night (at least lasting success doesn’t!). You chip away bit by bit. Working on trust, relationship and then foundation behaviours.

With this in mind, I never give timescales of training to clients. That’s not because I don’t trust my training it’s because there are so many variables. Instead I can give various examples of past clients with similar experiences but these often vary a lot too as every dogs journey is different.

This is our own dog Kit. A year apart. The first photo he’s shut down and lacked trust in humans. Everything terrified him - even eye contact and human touch. In the second picture it’s a year later and he’s come so far.

I wasn’t in a rush to teach him loads of skills. Instead our goal was confidence and building relationship. I didn’t want to rush this part however now he is in training for agility and an all round much happier dog.

Are we done yet? No. In fact we are far from it. But his journey is a steady one and I’m okay with that.

We got back last night around midnight from London! We had a great time at Pet Fest and Kaiser enjoyed doing some demo work.

I’m going to be catching up with messages and emails over the next 48 hours as well as booking in some 121 clients that I know are patiently waiting. I’m working through the long to do list of admin.

Just as a heads up whilst talking about 121 sessions, the availability for evenings and weekends is very limited. September is full and also most of October.

Therefore if you would like a session sooner then this will likely have to be weekday afternoons! 🙂

As you’ve all probably heard we’ve had a lot of on and off thunderstorms this afternoon. These may continue into the evening.

Therefore if your dog is particularly noise sensitive then please consider if they may prefer to settle at home rather than attend training this evening.

Juno on her scent work 121 today.

Her first ever time working on an odour (in this instance it was clove) and she absolutely smashed it. Very impressed with this little dog 😌🐾

Amazing session for Finn this morning!

We are doing regular 121 sessions to work on his engagement when out and about. Finn is a quirky character and can find the world a bit overwhelming. This can either lead him to shutting down or sometimes the opposite end of the scale where he can be reactive to the smallest of triggers.

Things we do to help Finn:
✅ Short sessions
✅ We allow him time at the start of the session to process his environment before we get to work
✅ Utilise sniffing as an aid to calm him
✅ When in new settings we stick to the repertoire of tricks he knows well (we can teach new stuff in calmer settings at another point)
✅ We adapt the reinforcement on offer in line with his emotions/arousal varying this between food, play, praise and environmental rewards
✅ Finn enjoys familiar patterns so we build this into our training
✅ We always ensure he has a “safe” quieter space to retreat to if needed

Tonight we pushed some of our Mantrailing club members outside of their comfort zone and trailed in an urban environment.

A lot more for the dogs to think about, more options, plenty more distractions and not to mention it was really rather windy this evening - which added yet another challenge!

Nef, Juno, Fynn and Nala all did amazingly well. 😌

Love when the dog community all comes together. We hosted Sally from Dysynni Dogs for a two part weave workshop for members of Aberystwyth Dog Agility and Canis Concept!

A lovely evening and the dogs have already made such a great start into their weaving journey ☺️
